With ease, Senegal signs a third consecutive success in Thiès against Namibia.
The vice-champions of Africa did not need to wait very long before opening the scoring thanks to the Parisian Idrissa Gueye who sends the ball from the right into the small net (10th).
Two minutes earlier, Ismaila Sarr touched the right post.
At the half hour mark, Famara Diedhiou tries to double the bet, but his shot is not on target.
Heading, the former Sochaux player finally materialized in the 38th minute.
Just before the break, lacking success, Sadio Mané also touched the post (45th) and narrowly missed his 25th goal in the selection.
The Liverpool player still found the net in the second half (55th).
Namibia, which reduced the score with Joslin Kamatuka (77th), was awarded a fourth goal by Keita Bladé.
The beginnings of Bouna Sarr
At 29, Bouna Sarr made his debut with the Lions de la Téranga, he who however insisted on putting on the jersey of the Blues a few years ago.
Bouna Sarr could certainly participate in the next CAN in Cameroon in January, but he can also hope to find himself in Qatar in 2022 for the World Cup since Aliou Cissé's men seem well on their way to keep first place in Group H. From Tuesday next, Senegal could validate its qualification for the play-offs in case of victory against Namibia on neutral ground in South Africa.
Three days after largely beating Guinea-Bissau (5-0), Vahid Halilhodzic's men faced the same opponent, still in Morocco, for lack of an approved stadium in Bissau.
The Atlas Lions are also approaching dams.
Like the Senegalese, the Moroccans score very quickly with Ayoub El Kaabi in the 10th minute.
They scored a second goal, still in the first period, signed Aymen Barkok (20th).
Ayoub El Kaabi offers himself a double after a bad pass behind Guinea-Bissau (70th).
Decimated by food poisoning the day before the first leg, the Djurtus did not have the opportunity to take their revenge.
